Alongside the job cuts, Google also expects to shell out another $40 million to help Motorola exit unprofitable markets and close facilities. As with exercise, sometimes you have to spend a little energy to slim a company down.

“Motorola has continued to refine its planned restructuring actions and now expects to broaden those actions to include additional geographic regions outside of the U.S.,” Google said in a statement.

With the devices, Motorola said it was focusing on what it saw as the three key smartphones features — battery life, LTE-support, and, predictably, Android. While the jury is still out on whether that strategy has been an effective one, it’s certain that Motorola has saved itself a lot of money by not flooding the market with devices that no one cares about.
